Linda’s Speedway held its second dirt racing event of the season, featuring a total of 20 races and 116 total cars. The night began with a special offer for race fans, as the first 50 were able to attend for free thanks to 600cc Performance.

One of the most exciting races of the night was the 270 Micro Sprint feature, with Ben Stoltz winning in a nail-biting finish. The race was decided by just 0.019 seconds at the line, leaving the crowd on the edge of their seats until the very end.

Other notable wins were from Robert Swavley of Jonestown, Lance Garrison of Palmyra, Josh Bewley, Mark Bressler of Shaefferstown, Brett Bieber, David Carraghan, Brandon Heist Sr. of Jonestown, Cory Myers of Fayetteville, Mike Boyer of Lebanon, Pete Skias of Wernersville, Andrew Dietrich of Kutztown, and Darren Miller of Marietta.
